Today we would like to welcome on our show, Lela Starseed, who for many years suffered with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Then one day she decided to heal herself of this and other illnesses. She succeeded in doing this with quite spectacular results. Lela is now passionate about sharing her message about how you can heal yourself with as many people as possible. So a warm welcome to you, Lela.

Lela is putting together a collection of people's stories where they have healed themselves. If you have a story to tell then please submit your story to Lela via her website here

Who am I and what do I believe? That is a big question but my name is Lela and I have had an extraordinary life. I felt that I was put on this earth to heal people in some capacity. This is something I have been aware of for many years but wasn’t sure how it was going to pan out but first let’s start with sharing with you a little about myself.

I was an extremely highly sensitive little girl who arrived in our world over 40 years ago and when I was born I know that I was born with fear that I had ingested whilst in my mother’s womb and probably from many past lifetimes. Being someone that was so sensitive I was always able to tune in to everything that was going on around me. Was this a gift or a hindrance? For many years it was the latter and I always felt different from everyone else and I couldn’t understand why. It was like I had this magic antenna that was able to pick up many thoughts and feelings. But I never expressed how I felt because I was frightened it wouldn’t be well received or acknowledged. And so like a vacuum cleaner I sucked up all the anger, hurt and any negative feelings that were going on in my family environment and tried to make it better by being such a good little girl. And so I did whatever I could to please everyone and everything to make sure that all negative feelings were kept at bay as it was just too scary for me.

And so I learnt from a very young age not to express my real feelings but to suppress them and that I would only be rewarded for being a polite well behaved child and I did whatever I could to make sure everyone was happy and to get the love and approval I so desperately needed.

Since those early years I have had many experiences and a lot of them haven’t been pleasant. I didn’t really understand why I kept attracting one negative experience after another for many many years. I understood that we all go through challenges in our life but with me there seemed to be no ‘let up’ of these experiences and at many times I would say, ‘there is only so much a human being can take!’ But then after many years of therapy and releasing emotions something wonderful happened; I woke up!

And what does waking up mean?

For me it meant something inside of me just clicked into place and I had this strong knowing that said. ‘Oh my god, now I get it! I really get it!’

And I realised that everything that had happened to me had been the most unbelievable gift. That was about 7 years ago when I met a beautiful soul called Vincent who completely turned the way I thought and felt about the world upside down but that is another story.

And so through much soul searching and self discovery I have found answers to my various challenges and feel I am now in a place to really help and empower people. And share with everyone all the things that I have learnt. And I always say to people if I can get through what I went through so can you!

Questions:

Before we start to talk about your recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, could you tell us a little bit about your early life, because I understand that from an early age, you believed that you were somewhat different than everybody else.

Can you explain how Chronic Fatigue Syndrome affects the body?

Would you say that all disease is somehow “all in the mind”?

Do you believe that people carry on hurts and illnesses from one lifetime to another?

You say you believe that you were put on Earth to heal people. How is that working out in your life?

Have you ever considered writing a book about your life?

You are happy to give talks about your experiences and have already done so in the West of England. If anyone listening is thinking of inviting you to give a talk to their group, what should they do?

An amazing article and Lela has voiced here much of what I have been saying for a couple of years. I totally understand the attraction of negativity and changing that by thinking differently. I was diagnosed with Crohnes and was in pain for a long time. I discovered three things that helped, one was chanting on a regular basis "I am well, I can see, I have lots of energy" because my eyes were affected and I was lacking in energy; I discovered I could test whether what I wanted to eat would affect me or not just by leaning with it and I discovered water therapy, i.e. drink 3 pints first thing in the morning then carry on as normal, after a few weeks the symptoms had gone and I went from strength to strength. Unfortunately, if I am emotionally stressed and eat the wrong things it flares up again, but I know that is down to me to fix it. It often seems like I am being tested as I still have bouts of emotional turmoil, but each time I get through them I am stronger. I truly believe that our whole way of life and society in general would change for the better if the media put out positive, good news and the well being of people all the time rather than the negativity we are subjected to - no wonder so many are unwell. But we must remember that the drugs companies would not make so much money if we were all well eh? Well done Lela for voicing your truth, which seems to also be my truth.

I can relate to a lot of what has been said by Leila in this article. A therapist once asked me how I would describe myself as a child. When I said hypersensitive he said he thought as much, adding: I think you have 2 protective layers less than most people. It can be a very draining experience, being this way, and hurtful, too. I was even accused by a friend, once, of caring too much! This was when I told him that perhaps he didn't care enough. I still think it better to, "care too much". After all, wars were never started by people caring too much!
